Re: [DML] Side Windows

If you say you have seen it move that much I will take your word for it.  If
the body is flexing that much why don't we see more broken rear windows? A
vertical motion like that would be a shear force in the adhesive which
probably wouldn't be translated to the glass unless you have hard rubber
spacers on top and bottom of the glass keeping it centered.  A simple way to
show what I am talking about it to take 2 flat plates and glue them together
with some RTV.  Try pull them apart, they probably wont budge, now try slide
them apart.  The shear force will break the bond much easier.

When you had the car on the lift what motion cause the flex and where was
the car supported?  I would like to try and duplicate what you saw.
